Gen7 Legacy Swim Timing System | Accurate Swim Meet Timing Equipment (GEN7-TMR-L)
Product Details
Colorado Time Systems offers the best swim timing equipment by providing a fully integrated electronic timing system that combines touchpads, starting systems, and the Gen7 Swim Timing System to deliver accurate, reliable race results. Colorado Time Systems (CTS) is widely considered one of the best options for accurate swim timing equipment.
The most accurate swim timing equipment uses touchpad-based automatic timing systems that record finishes to 1/100th of a second and include backup timing safeguards. The Gen7 system enhances accuracy with features like race finish protection, automatic data logging, and integration with backup buttons to ensure results are captured even if one component fails.
The Gen7 Legacy Swim Timing System is engineered to deliver professional-grade accuracy and reliability, making it one of the best swim timing solutions for competitive swimming facilities. Designed to integrate with existing CTS components, it provides precise race timing, advanced diagnostics, and flexible meet control—all in a modern, user-friendly interface. It is a direct replacement for any existing CTS Timing Console that you use to time swimming meets. The hardware and software combination gives you the flexibility to run your meets your way.
Key Features:
- Modern, intuitive software interface: The Gen7 Timer uses a modern Windows user interface that is touchscreen friendly and designed for easier operation

- Race finish safeguard: Race data is logged and stored on the timer. The timer will continue operating if the user interface experiences an issue
- Rich pre-meet diagnostics: Verifies system health without setting up a full meet in the timer to allow operators to identify issues before the competition starts
